[CBQ] Re: Red Owl truck in the new Zephyr

["sctry" <jgreedy@beol.net>]

Red Owl was a regional grocery distributor in Wis, Min, Ia, and 
Dakotas.  I recall a Red Owl distribution center in Green Bay and 
Sioux City (formerly Council Oaks Food Stores).  There once was a Red 
Owl store constructed on the urban renewal site of the former GN depot
(with CBQ tenant) at Sioux City, Ia.
